Ferdinand Given a Chance.

BERLIN, Sept 17-Count Kaluoky will leave
Freidrichsruhe tomorrow. stopping few hours
in Berlin. He will proceed to Dresden Mon
day. and on Tuesday will return to Vienna. AL
though his conference with Prince Bismarck is
a recurrence of the annual meeting agreed upon
some years ago, the significance of his
present visit is heightened by his recent
diplomatic. oscillations While Prince Bis
marck was at Kissingen the Austrian

carry him too far and imperil the central Euro
pean alliance Whatever Bismarck's motive
was it is certain he played with Count Schou-
the Gar into the belief that Germany would

tween Germany and Russia have been
colder thar than ever Bismarok's refusal
in the Bulgarian question was the climax of
Russia's disappoin tment, while it convinced
Austria that she could rely the permanent
strength OF the alliance with Germany. Count
Kalnoky's presence at Friedri cbsruhe, in connec-
ton with the Cars avoidance of a meeting with
the Emperor. sets seal upon the alliance, while
at the same time promising a more vigorous
common policy on the part OF Austria and
Germany. the interview between Bismarck
and Kalnoky means new phase of the Bull

intervention, the neutrality OF Europe toward
Prince Ferdinand, leaving him to his own re-
sources. to sink or swim. and freedom of action
for the Bulgarlans short of anarchy troubling
the peace OF neighboring states.
The Fremdenblatt, in a suggestive semi official
article, hints at an exchange of views on greater
matters than the Bulgarian question. 1t says
the alliance must display its force by exertlng
decisive influence at critical moments to main
tain the peace of Europe, and thus form bull
wark against the flaming up of passions which
might prove the ruin of nations. The North

4 Strange Cause of Suicide.

The reasons which sometimes drive
people to suicide are well calculated tc
puzzle those of us who attach some
value to existence. A man has lust
drowned himself at Angervilliers, q
little village near L;mours, for no other
reason than that there had not been q
funeral in the place for a long time past.
The municipality went last year to the
expense OF providing a hesrse for the
use OF the community, the cemetery be-
ing at a considerable distance from the
town. 1t had, however, been standing
unused in the municipal eoachhouse
ever sincei its arrival and at length one

determined to treat his fellowtownsmen
to the spectacle for which he seems te
AVE been himself p ming. He took his
leave OF them in a letter which was
found in his pocket. tIf you wish to
see a funeral" he wrote, come te
mine. Be sure to bury me in the new
hearse." His citizens dutifully deter.
mined to comply with his last wishes.

Life Distribution.

In his presidential address 10 the Brit

two curious paradoxes concerning the

life over the Garth; First, the chances OF
the wide distribution of marine species
arg not exceptionally great, as might be
y frred, for the reason that the great
depths of.thc sea have been found to be

Heltoaraphto Signalling.

Talking about the captain of Chief
Geronimo's Apaches, General Miles said
to the Washington correspondent of the
Chicago News:
II think that the success of our cam
paign was d lie in a great part to a system
of photographic signaling which was es-
tablished down there, by which we could
communicate for hundreds of miles al
most as rapidly as by telegraphy. Upon
| the SUBMITS of the mountains, at inter
walls Of from fifteen to fifty miles, We had
signal stations. We did not employ
flags, for they could not have been seen
that distance, but common hand mirrors,
such as. ladies use to do up their back
hair. If you will take one of those mir
rors you will notice that a ray OF light
| can be thrown a long distances far rs
the eye can reach. Two men standing up
on the tops of neighboring mountains
could throw rays of light back and forth
from one mirror to the other, and talk by
the Morse system of telegraphy-dots
and dashes-very much as was formerly
done in receiving messages over the ocean
cables. When the right focus
was secured a message could
be sent as quietly and as rapidly as by
telegraph. Whenever there were Indian
signs, notice was given to thirty or forty
stations, throughout a radius of two or
three hundred miles, and in that way
the Indians could be headed off and
driven from one point to another until
we finally got them out of the states and
into Mexico.
"The officers frequently sent messages
home by these signals, and ] know of
one instance in which a message was
sent 500 miles, through twenty or thirty
stations, and the answer returned within
four hours. In former times communi-
cation was conducted by means of o
iers, and it required days for them to
carry a message where we can now send
it instantly.
"When Geronimo was captured he
would not believe that such a thing as
signaling by light was possible and, as
the system was explained to him by an
interpreter, he wanted to send a message
to his brother who was a prisoner at Fort
Bowie. I graf fed him, and when the
answer came back he was as much aston
ished as if he had seen the Almighty.
He said 10 Indian could fight a man who
talked with the sun.
"Natchez, one of the head men and ,
an ugly fellow, was still out at this time,
but when Geronimo got his answer the
interpreter overheard him tell one of his
men to call Natchez in quick, as there
a mystery in the hands of the SOL
that paralyzed him. Natchez
